BEAUTY. THIS PUBLIC
FACE SCULPTED BY LIFE,
IS BUT THE TIP OF MY EXISTENCE.
FOR BELOW THE SURFACE ~
lie hidden depths, unspoken
dangers, dark secrets
I wish could be erased.
For the damage they
have done, the lives
they have hurt
will forever
taint
me.

Safe Haven

Opuss is my place to express my feelings. Not my place to exchange gossip or dirty dealings. Not taking sides or commenting on rumour. Keep doing what I'm doing. With sensitivity and humour.

Far

Far too long pretending it wasn't wrong. Far too much being used as a crutch. Far from good,far from what it should. Far away is where my mind tended to sway. Far we have come but the end had begun.

Cloud

I'm not the cloud with the silver lining. I'm not the cloud that's loved by sun. I'm the cloud that's there at night. I'm the cloud that's purpose is done. I'm not the cloud that gives you shade.

This is meant to be titled 'Iceberg' but if I do that then the title bar takes up to much space, the poem won't fit on one page and you lose the effect of the shape :(
